I have a tree view with a custom delegate to which I am trying to add word wrap functionality. The word wrapping is working fine, but the sizeHint()
seems to not work, so when the text wraps, the relevant row does not expand to include it.
I thought I was taking care of it in sizeHint()
by returning document.size().height()
.
def sizeHint(self, option, index):
text = index.model().data(index)
document = QtGui.QTextDocument()
document.setHtml(text)
document.setTextWidth(option.rect.width())
return QtCore.QSize(document.idealWidth(), document.size().height())
However, when I print out document.size().height()
it is the same for every item.
Also, even if I manually set the height (say, to 75) just to check that things will look reasonable, the tree looks like a goldfish got shot by a bazooka (that is, it's a mess):
As you can see, the text in each row is not aligned properly in the tree.

Similar issues have come up before, but no solutions to my problem (people usually say to reimplement sizeHint()
, and that's what I am trying):
